General description: The Brentwood Park Reservoir is a buried 25 MG reinforced concrete and was

constructed in 1959. This reservoir has an overflow elevation of 172 feet, a sloped bottom elevation

ranging from 142 to 144 feet, and a typical minimum water elevation is 155 feet. This modified

rectangular reservoir has an arched concrete roof that is supported on concrete columns and covered

with approximately two feet of turf. There is a vent building located at the southwest corner of the

site. The vent building has two compartments with separate entrances. The north side of the structure

is the vent house and provides access to the reservoir, overflow box, and water level sensor. The south

side of the structure houses the valves, inlet, outlet, overflow, and drain piping. The reservoir has

separate inlet and outlet pipes that are separated by a diagonal concrete baffle running through the

reservoir. The baffle wall provides consistent unidirectional flow through the reservoir to prevent short

circuiting and stagnant areas. There are two additional access hatches located at the northeast corner

of the reservoir on either side of the baffle wall. There is a separate sampling vault located just south

of the reservoir with a walk-in entrance from Brentwood Parkway. Access to the building is by a

concrete road. A chain link fence surrounds the site.
